JavaScript Conditions
Introduction
Conditional expressions, involving keywords such as if and else, provide JavaScript programs with the ability to perform different actions depending on a Boolean condition: true or false. This section covers the use of JavaScript conditionals, Boolean logic, and ternary statements.
Syntax
- if (condition) statement;
- if (condition) statement_1, statement_2, ..., statement_n;
- if (condition) {
statement
} - if (condition) {
statement_1;
statement_2;
...
statement_n;
} - if (condition) {
statement
} else {
statement
} - if (condition) {
statement
} else if (condition) {
statement
} else {
statement
} - switch (expression) {
case value1:
statement
[break;]
case value2:
statement
[break;]
case valueN:
statement
[break;]
default:
statement
[break;]
} - condition ? value_for_true : value_for_false;
Remarks
Conditions can break normal program flow by executing code based on the value of an expression. In JavaScript, this means using if, else if and else statements and ternary operators.
